Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes, flip and cook 3 more minutes. Remove, flake into large chunks.
  2. Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and capers, cooking for 1 minute. Add the juice of both lemons and a splash of pasta water.
  4. Add the linguine to the skillet and toss in the lemon butter sauce. Gently fold in the salmon flakes, being careful not to break them too much.
  5. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
